Rollie Waters

review 1: Twenty-five million dollars is stuffed into a body bag in a coffin supposedly holding an American soldier! Just a small part of the money hidden and discovered after Sadaam Hussein's ignominious ending after the second Iraqi War. Marine Lieutenant Rollie Waters is inadvertently, at first so it seems, drawn into a military mission to find this huge amount of money. First they snag Rollie by saying he lied about doings when his jeep window was shot out. Then they tell him that because he was on a mission in Afghanistan and knows the Middle East so well he knows the whereabouts of this money. His new mission? Find the money or send years in the brig!It doesn't take long for Rollie to figure out why the officers, one of whom is so vile that Rollie knows several military of... moreficers are involved. But he doesn't know precisely who, how or why. First they ask him to find his father, a con artist whom Rollie hates for multiple reasons the reader will discover throughout the story. Then when he does find him, he realizes they have been tailed. Violence erupts and many will die. Torture will follow. But Rollie manages to elude his captors and tracks his way back to where the story began in the Middle East.To say more would ruin a story that travels throughout America from Camp Pendleton all the way to the Middle East. Rollie is a formidable character because although he despises his father, he has remembered everything his Dad taught him. He is a Marine and a survivor - a thrilling combination that keeps this plot spinning and impossible to pin down, at times even seeming convoluted. More devious male and female characters enter the story midway and the reader will be amazed that Rollie can make sense out of it all. But why not for he has been raised by the Master of Cons! Caravan of Thieves reads like an espionage novel with two parallel stories keeping the reader guessing and eager to discover when, where, how, and why they will join! Great story!
review 2: Rollie Waters is every inch as smart as his father, Dan Waters but the one difference is that Rollie is honest while his Dad is one of the biggest con-artists of his generation. Rollie has been a hero in Iraq and worked as an undercover agent for the Marines. But now he is being asked to help apprehend his father who may be responsible for the disappearance of 25 million dollars! Rollie knows his father, Dan might not have stolen the money but he knows darn well that his dad knows where the money is. Rollie is immediately caught between two competing forces.....Colonel Gladden of the Marines who wants the money back and Major McColl , whose gang is responsible for the theft. And each side will do anything to get the money back. Rollie knows that he will have to look at his past, first to find his Dad and think to follow some clues to find the money. He soon realizes that Gladden may be no more honest than McColl and he fully realizes that his own life is very much in danger !He is driven to find the money but he knows he will have to use all his own skills not to be caught in this web! David Rich's fast-paced book is a page turner but surprises at almost every turn. less
